@steveinarizona I had a well known professor that specialized in complex hip revisions surgery at OHSU . However the techniques used to remove the primary hip components are not long lasting. The cerclage metal ring used to hold the femur bone in place after osteotomy is well known to fail in 10 years . It’s been 9 years since the 2017 revision and my leg has rotated to the left visually seen and also compression on the nerve now experiencing numbness in my foot a pre curser to drop foot.

Sounds complex. Your OSHU Professor might be the best possible choice.
However, this would be your second revision. Before doing that I would want an independent review. You are in Ohio. Can you get to New Albany? There is a surgeon there that has excellent reports -- Dr. Keith Berend.
A second opinion, a second possible surgeon, would be my choice before undergoing a second revision.
The other alternative, if you can get in, would be to travel to Rochester MN for the Mayo Clinic.
